Assamese Deluge

Assamese Deluge: A problem procrastinated since ages

Brahmaputra is one of the major rivers of Asia.

Its fury inspired many travellers and invaders from as far as Persia. 

Originating in China and flowing through Bangladesh and India,

It covers a whopping length of 2900 km before culminating in the Ganges Delta

It is multilingual and strikes a chord with Chinese, Bangladeshi and Indians alike

Enduring a long arduous journey, it takes all hardships in its stride.

Dihang in Arunachal, Jamuna in Bangladesh and Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet,

Different people call it with different names that they have set.

It doesn’t take long for the river to turn from serene life giver to a deadly killer.

The frequent catastrophic flooding in Assam makes the river an annual sinner.

It leads to a heavy loss of livestock, human lives and property.

Hundreds of animals die in Kaziranga as a result of this tragedy.

Government spends thousands of crores annually in relief and rehabilitation.

It helps the needy in cash and kind to relieve their monetary tension.

Besides Hog deers and Sambars ,loss of the precious One-horned Rhino worries a wildlife lover.

These floods are inevitable and would continue in an unrelenting manner.
